Lissette makes an adorable cowgirl with her billowy cotton shirt, neckerchief, leather riding skirt (which can be worn as a split riding skirt if she unbuttons it), gaiters and spurs. An elaborate holster is stocked full of ammunition. Her hat is similar to some of those worn by soldiers of the confederacy.

This costume was based off of several paintings used in advertisements in the early 1900's.

Thanks! I designed it based off of a Confederate cavalry hat, Lissette is from the south so it seemed a fitting choice. Possibly it's from an uncle or cousin...
I'm glad you think the holster is cute! It might not be up to fitting a full size colt revolver, but the lovely embroidery makes up for it. And seriously, what gal doesn't need a little style when riding the range in search of her father?
